5 bids is not a measure of how long it takes to bid something. Using this logic it takes 35 years to hold EWR 787 CA because the 1 pilot bidding in on a backfill has a 100 seniority number companywide.
Its likely 2 years to hold WB FO on the west coast. The larger WB bids, per the CRU will be over the next few months and a better indicator of how long it will take someone today to get into one of those seats.
That's awesome news! He's been here 2 years, so he should get the award tomorrow!!! Oh wait, it went to someone 8000 numbers senior to him. Your bucket of sugar didn't really beat my grain of salt....
Also, I did not say SFO 787. I said West Coast WBFO (and I excluded 75/76 from WB). So comparing apples to apples, as opposed to space Shuttles, most junior East Coast WB CA is 4500 in the snap. No clue how many years, but I would guess it's a pretty damn good estimate for people wondering when they'll get it. How about you stop attacking everyone who is just trying to give reasonable expectations? I'll bet you my 401k against yours that I won't be able to upgrade in less than 3 years on the property, 5 years in base. Want to take that bet?
Not complaining, just being realistic
